Facility Inspections
Although we didn't rate this nursing home favorably overall, we actually gave it an excellent grade in the area of inspections, where it received an A-. Inspection scores are based on several datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these reports. Most importantly, you should avoid facilities that have severe deficiencies linked to endangerment of patients. While this facility had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.

This facility's long-term care grade appears to be one of its higher features. The nursing home was given a B- in this area.

Nurse Quality
We also wanted to point out that this nursing home received an F for its nursing grade. When computing our nursing ratings, we analyze both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the training levels of those nurses. With only 0 hours of nursing care per patient daily, this facility's nurse staffing levels were significantly below the national average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing grades. This facility performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the last area, this facility really didn't perform well in this category either. Due to a rock bottom grade of F in short-term care, this is really as as uninspiring as it gets. In the category of short-term care, we strive to assess indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess a facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Based on its grade in this category, we were not stunned to learn that this nursing home was well below average in terms of the number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. The final measure we assessed in this area is the number of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 3.9 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, this was quite a bit below the national average.
